Eliza Gilkyson – Pastures Of Plenty chords

[Intro]
Em G D Em

[Verse 1]
GIt's a mighty hard row
        D     EmMy poor hands have hoed
GMy poor feet have traveled
      D     EmA hot dusty road

[Verse 2]
GOut of your Dust Bowl
             D  EmAnd westward we rolled
GYour deserts were hot
         D          EmYour mountains were cold

[Verse 3]
GI worked in your orchards
   D           EmOf peaches and prunes
GSlept on the ground
             D       EmBy the light of your moon

[Verse 4]
GOn the edge of your city
              D   EmYou'll see us and then
GWe come with the dust
           D        EmWe're gone with the wind

[Verse 5]
GCalifornia and Arizona,
       D        EmI made all your crops
GAnd its north up to Oregon
           D    EmTo harvest your hops

[Verse 6]
GDig the beets from your ground,
                D         EmPick the grapes from your vine
GTo set on your table
           D         EmYour light sparkling wine

[Instrumental]
Em G D Em G D Em D G D Em G D Em

[Verse 7]
GIt's green pastures of plenty
         D      EmFrom dry desert ground
GFrom the Grand Coulee Dam
                 D   EmWhere the waters run down

[Verse 8]
GEvery state in this Union
            D    EmUs migrants have been
GWe'll work in this fight
                D       EmAnd we'll fight till we win

[Verse 9]
GAnd it's always we ramble
       D       EmThis river and I
GAll along your green valley,
            D      EmI will work till I die

[Verse 10]
GAnd this land I'll defend
             D       EmWith my life if need be
G'Cause my pastures of plenty
        D      EmMust always be free
